This dissertation proposes the use of a model that involves a multi-layered agent combined with coding of engineering knowledge to enter the interface data rapidly, and further to calculate the stress and natural frequency of a door-shaped structure. This model is used to develop a case-based method that is combined with regression to calculate the similarity between desired structure and base structure in database. This method can rapidly find information, and make inferences for application to door-shaped structure. In relation to the model with the multi-layer agent combined with coding, this dissertation proposes the concepts of the knowledge audit and the relational knowledgebase. Users can exploit these concepts to find required information and knowledge more rapidly than that of traditional design, and thus easily enter the required knowledge codes. A modified analytical hierarchy process (AHP) method is developed to perform a functional analysis of supporting structures. The modified AHP method that is developed herein exploits an innovative approach of calculating the number of occurrences of related keywords and the ratio of the number of each related technique terms in the documents of related patents and techniques for evaluation of design priority. This ratio is applied as a base to the weighted value of technigue terms in the AHP method, and further analyzes the priority of design techniques and functions in design decisions that are related to a multi-layered supporting structure. This prioritization is used with the modified TRIZ clustering method to propose a new design improvement of supporting structures.
In the case study, a model with a multi-layered agent that is combined with coding is utilized, and the engineering knowledge of a door-shaped structure is considered as an example to conduct an analysis of similarity. The modified AHP is analyzed by respectively taking the techniques for design priority associated with the functions of a door-shaped structure and a multi-layered supporting structure as examples. With respect to the modified AHP and the combined modified TRIZ innovative decision procedures, the design of a multi-layered supporting structure is considered as an example of the combination of a structure arrangement with the local reinforcement in multi-layered structure design. Finally, all of the aforementioned innovative methods are integrated. With reference to the motion of a ship in waves and its reaction to loads, this dissertation establishes rapid simulative analysis approach to evaluate the fatigue of a three-dimensional multi-layered supporting structure of the Roll on/Roll off (RO/RO) ship. It is further to consider the multi-layer supporting structure design improvement for a Roll on/Roll off ship, which involves arrangement change, local reinforcement and opening holes techniques to satisfy the yield strength, buckling properties, fatigue properties and light-weight design.
